Xianggong farming

Chapter 146
With a plan in mind, Ji Xinmiao felt that life was getting more and more comfortable.

On the third day, everything at home was done, and Qi Dalang was about to go out to hunt for the last time this year. Before he went out, he repeatedly confessed: "Daughter-in-law, I will do the housework when I come back. You are doing well at home. If Huzi and Linger are disobedient , you should teach me a lesson, and I won't blame you."

What Ji Xinmiao was worried about was not these: "Is it going to snow in this mountain? Why don't you go into the mountain. Maybe all the wild animals have gone to Maodong."

Seeing his daughter-in-law caring more and more about his little face, the joy in Qi Dalang's heart was revealed from his actions. He stretched out his hand and gathered the little woman's clothes on his chest and asked with a smile: "My wife is reluctant to leave me for a few days? Be good, three I'll be back soon. You stay at home and wait for me to bring you delicious food. Don't worry about me. This time I discussed with Brother Hu. The Lin family, the Li family, and the Fan family will each bring one into the mountain. They are all familiar with it. It will be fine. Moreover, the prey that was hunted this time will not be sold, it will be frozen after processing, and it will be kept for the New Year to eat fresh. I am leaving."

This man is really a mother-in-law!Although Ji Xinmiao liked his stickiness in his heart, he couldn't help but slander him.

Qi Dalang's actions were too affectionate. After all, this was outside the door. Ji Xinmiao blushed: "Let's go, be careful on the road. If you don't have enough dry food, come back quickly. It doesn't matter if you don't catch it, you know?"

Qi Dalang smiled like a fool, stepped out of the house and waved: "Daughter-in-law, I'm leaving. You go in quickly, don't be cold."

Qi Dalang was not at home, and the two children also ran out to play. Apart from taking care of the sprouting bacteria, Ji Xinmiao sat in front of the new-style stove and concentrated on making winter clothes.

Qi Hongshi was holding a bag of cloth, and Qi Erqin was holding a bag of cotton. The three of them gathered around the table and talked about family affairs.

Qi Erqin pointed to the cotton on the table and said: "Sister-in-law, this is the best cotton you bought, didn't you spend a lot of money?"

Qi Hong also praised: "Sister-in-law, you really came from a rich family, and your vision is too high. How many of the cotton-padded clothes in the countryside use such good cotton? There are third-class cottons that cost ten dollars a catty. It’s not bad. There are many people who can’t afford cotton and use catkins.”

"Use cattail catkins? That thing can also be used to make cotton clothes?"

Seeing her surprise, Qi Hong thought it was amused and explained: "In a famine year, people who can't even eat have problems. In winter, they really don't have money in their hands, but they can't freeze to death, right? A padded jacket made of catkins is better than a single coat." Huh? But, ordinary people will only make this kind of padded jacket for adults, because it doesn’t keep warm well, and it’s heavy, so children can’t wear it.”

Qi Erqin added: "Second sister-in-law, it can't be said that all children don't wear them. Some stepmothers treat their children too much, and it's not uncommon for children to wear catkins."

Ji Xinmiao was a little displeased when she heard this: "Whether it's the ex-mother or the stepmother, they are still called mothers. Unless the life is really difficult, otherwise it is a crime to use such things for the children to spend the winter!"

The three of them were chatting, when someone shouted at the door: "Daughter-in-law, are you at home?"

Ji Xinmiao was taken aback, the voice sounded like Aunt Liu, the servant of the head of the village, what did she want her for?
Hearing Aunt Liu calling at the door, Ji Xinmiao immediately stood up and came to the door to answer: "It's Aunt Liu? It's rare for you to come here today, what's the matter?"

Unexpectedly, Aunt Liu said with a cold face: "Daughter-in-law, the head of the village invites you to come over."

Seeing her attitude and tone of voice, Ji Xinmiao was at a loss. When did she offend this aunt?But she didn't show it on the surface, but asked politely: "The head of the village asked me to go? Auntie, do you know what's the matter?"

Aunt Liu's face was still cold: "I'm just a servant, how can I know this? You will know when you pass by."

Aunt Liu's indifferent and hostile attitude made Ji Xinmiao stand in front of the door inexplicably.

At this time, Qi Erqin heard Aunt Liu's rude voice and followed her: "Sister-in-law, in such a cold day, what can the village head tell you to do? If you have something to do, you should call the elder brother. If the elder brother is not at home, you can also call the second brother." Brother, what do you want a woman to do? Leave him alone, wait for elder brother to come back to talk about anything.”

Qi Hong also put down his work and came out to ask: "Yes, sister-in-law, brother will be back in two or three days, let Hu Zichun'er go and answer."

"That's not good? The head of the village specially asked Aunt Liu to call, so there must be something wrong. If I don't go, it will be bad if the head of the village is angry." Regardless of modern times and ancient times, even if the power of an official is not great, he can't tolerate it. Others violated his majesty.

Qi Hong also felt that it was inappropriate when he heard it, so he just suggested: "How about this, sister-in-law, Erqin and I will go with you."

I wanted to refuse, but when I thought that she was a woman and her husband was not at home, the head of the village was a man who came to call her.It's always bad for her to go alone.

So she nodded and said: "You guys lock the door first, I'll go over to have a look first, you come here slowly. However, I think it should be nothing serious, did the head of the village hear about the mushroom at home and want to find I'm asking."

When Qi Hong heard this, he immediately reminded her: "Sister-in-law, this is the craft of supporting your family, you can't tell others casually."

She can still tell the real concern.Ji Xinmiao smiled gratefully: "Of course. Or, let's go together, and I will lock the door too."

"Okay, sister-in-law, wait for me a moment." Qi Hong immediately returned to his room.

After locking the door, the three of them walked together to the courtyard of the chief's house. Although the sun was shining brightly, the weather was still cold.The three of them entered the yard, and when they saw a large group of men and women on the yard of the chief's house, they were stunned!
What's the big deal today?This was the thought that flashed through the three of them at the same time.

"Da Lang's wife is here." An aunt shouted.

Immediately, everyone looked at her in unison.

This vision?
There are those who watch the show, those who despise, and those who sigh...

What's going on here?What's wrong with me?Ji Xinmiao looked down at her own attire: a small padded jacket with a dark blue background and a dark floral tangle with fox fur trim, dark blue straight cotton trousers with dark floral patterns, and padded shoes with tops made of surplus cloth of the same color.Although the style is a bit tight, but there is nothing wrong with it?

"Daughter-in-law Dalang, you are already pretty enough, so you don't need to look any further. Come here." A daughter-in-law of the Liu family named Husheng joked as she looked at her.

Ji Xinmiao blushed.It's one thing to be pretty, it's not to be teased.Moreover, when a woman is praised in front of a woman, it is even more difficult to say how many compliments are true, let alone in front of a group of such women.Walking over with an embarrassing smile on her face, Ji Xinmiao suddenly found that the tiger on one side was holding a stick in front of her chest, protecting her younger sister Ling'er tightly behind her, which made her stunned Living.At this time, the expression on Huzi's face was not like that of a child less than six years old, but like a little tiger protecting the cub against a strong enemy, ready to go all out at any time.
